Bring the old oak back

Hardwood flooring in Maplewood, MN

Maplewood's ramblers and split-levels were built with real oak floors, and many are still there under layers of old carpet.

The hardwood hiding in Maplewood homes

Houses built through the 1950s and 60s commonly have three-quarter-inch strip oak beneath later carpet. Pulling a corner back is often all it takes to learn whether you can save it, and refinishing costs far less than replacing.

Dealing with older subfloors

Mid-century framing can have dips, squeaks, and patched areas. We screw down loose boards, level high and low spots, and use the right fasteners so a new floor feels solid. That prep is what separates a nice-looking floor from one that lasts.

Solid, engineered, and refinishing options

Solid red oak is a classic match for older homes, while engineered boards work over concrete or in lower levels. Learn more on our solid hardwood and refinishing pages.

How a project runs

We bring finish samples and wood species to your living room during the free estimate. For refinishing we sand, repair, stain, and apply finish in stages, with furniture moved and dust controlled. Many homeowners add new luxury vinyl in the basement at the same time.

Yes, that is part of prep and included in the quote.

We can blend species and stain tones, and often refinish the whole room so everything matches.

Light foot traffic is usually fine after a day, but we advise waiting before moving heavy furniture back.
